AWS re:Invent 2021 was a conference that saw a focus on health and technology, diversity, equity, and inclusion, security, accessibility, and refinement in cloud technologies. The event featured talks from Datadog and partners, including Nathan Case, Kirk Kaiser, and Jeff Nickoloff, who discussed topics such as automating instrumentation, bringing intentional and empathetic observability to dashboards, and making machine learning accessible to everyone. The conference also showcased refinements and updates to existing products and platforms, with a focus on new features and updates that demonstrate the success of cloud technology over the last decade. Additionally, there was a significant product pivot towards creating low-code and no-code solutions to empower users who are less inclined to software engineering. New low-code solutions such as Amazon SageMaker Canvas and SageMaker Studio Lab were also announced, aiming to break down silos across the machine learning pipeline and make machine learning accessible to everyone. Security was a major theme, with many presentations on security-focused content, including Access Analyzer, which analyzes policies in AWS Organizations. Observability was also front and center, with products like Datadog paving the road to build observability into the very DNA of cloud services.
